wierd laws in your state?

A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law specifically prohibits men from turning around on any city street and looking "at a woman in that way." A second conviction for a crime of this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a "pair of horse-blinders" wherever and whenever he goes outside for a stroll.

i was reading up on this site and saw a law that is totally ridiculous if they actually enforced this law i believe every man would have to pay this fine at least 6 times a day(at the very least)
me personally they would have to do much worst then make me wear horse blinders to stop .

P.S. i will be edditing this post later on tonight so Mrs. Smurf does not make me sleep on the couch.

When I lived in Cleveland Heights, they had some pretty strange laws. When my wife told me she wanted a cat, lease be damned, I lied through my teeth and told her with a perfectly straight fact that you can't have cats in Cleveland Heights when you have gas heat, to prevent furball fires.

I got in trouble about six months later, when she brought this up at work. It was worth it, though--- still no cats!!

Too late, dude! You've already been quoted!

In Canada, it's a criminal office to "Alarm Her Majesty" ... makes April Fool's Day a real pain!

Be there or be square. Only I can do both!

"My lord, I will use them according to their desert."

"God's bodykins, man, much better: use every man
after his desert, and who should 'scape whipping?"

No one may spit on a sidewalk.
This is ironic as I think half of the male population in Oklahoma uses Copenhagen, as evident by the sidewalks...

Tattoos are banned.
This one is misleading because it is "permanent" tattoos are banned. Well, the tattoo lobby convinced a judge that since the development of laser technology and tattoo removal, tattoos are no longer permanent. This opened the flood gates for tattoo parlors in Oklahoma now. They are facing other problems as the state decided to make each one of them put up some ridiculous bond before they can open their doors. The tattoo lobby is, of course, fighting this. Being the last state to legalize tattoos is funny sometimes...

In the Province of Ontario (and in the majority of the rest of Canada), if you own a place of business where your only income from that facility of the sale of tobacco, you still aren't allowed to smoke in your own building.

Now, while I accept the concerns of second smoke in public places like bars and restaurants (note I said "accept", not "agree with"), you have one reason to go into a tobacconist, and that's to buy tobacco or tobacco related products.

You are not permitted to wear cowboy boots unless you already own at least two cows. (Those would be some expensive cowboy boots - not to mention the upkeep!)

I wholeheartedly support that law though, I must say.

Detonating a nuclear device within the city limits results in a $500 fine.
(That's it??? $500... I don't think $500 is going to stop someone. What about outside the city?)

Well, Berkeley CA is a nuclear free zone. There are signs on all the roads as you enter, just to make sure everybody remembers to leave their nuclear devices in Oakland. I don't know that anybody told Lawrence Berkeley Labs, though......

I hear there is a by-law in Canada where you can't water your lawn when it's raining
Can't chop down tall trees. The royal navy has first rights to use them as ship masts.
I heard that the Canadian laws concerning music piracy still use the word "gramophone" to describe a recording.
